[Q] Help with Miracast - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have become a fond user of Miracast on my tablet recently so was wondering if there were any original Android ROMs that supported it? I have read that no CM/AOSP ROM supports Miracast but apparently there are work arounds? I am currently on the unofficial CM11 that temasek produced and despite having the Cast Screen option in settings I don't think it can find my device to cast to
Never going back to Touchwiz so if anyone knows any simple KitKat ROMs that Miracast works on that would be great
Thanks

Anyone have any help for me?

Anyone help? Would really love an answer or reply, have asked many times in many threads

[Q] Samsung Link.apk working on Cyanogen Mod 10.1

Ok so I am using Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds and have recently bought a Smart TV and want to share my data i.e (Video, Pictures, Music etc)
I am trying to install the Samsung Link software (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.pcw) and its failing to do so. I managed to download the .apk from an alternate source and tried installing it.. That failed too.. Is there no way to get this app working on my phone with Cyanogenmod?
Alternatively anyone who has a smart tv with inbuilt WIFI and Bluetooth is there any other way to connect to the tv? What are the features I will lose if I use these alternate methods of connecting? like WIFI Direct, Bluetooth or Cloud storage!
you could not install samsung stock apps on CM roms as they require framework. that's almost impossible.

please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

What does that mean? TV out? Do you mean things like screen mirroring, file sharing etc?
Thanks for your quick responses both of you..

Overall must say CyanogenMod is awesome but i simply do not understand why the HDMI connect is not supported and why it never will be. Everyone has SmartTV and everyone eventually will use that feature sooner or later. It's so frustrating. I even installed CyangenMod on my brothers phone recently and he is cursing me because certain apps do not show up in Googles app store. He is a doctor and he needs some of those apps.
For example i have latest nightly installed on my HTC One M7 and i even cannot connect via Wireless Display on my Samsung Smart TV UN55F8000.
I love cyanogen and its update policy is the best but Day by day things i cannot do which become more and more common cannot be done because CyanogenMod won't recognize apps or simply does not work with certain devices. Sooner or later it will become big issue in the future if the list which can't be done will become bigger and the things which can be done will be just like checking the facebook status.
It's just sad.

Custom ROMS and Samsung "Special Features"

Hi
I recently got a Verizon GalaxyS4 and put Cyanogenmod Nightly on it. I noticed that the Samsung Special features are no longer there.
The special features I'm talking about are:
Touchless Control, Video Pausing when looking away, eye-scrolling, etc...
Is it possible to have these features on a custom ROM?
Thanks
P.S. Sorry if this is a dup thread, I searched to no avail.
no it's not possible

[Q] HELP! CM ROM for Xperia Go - ST27i??

Hi everyone!
I really like how CyanogenMod works because it makes the phone faster than the stock one and also is lighter but the problem is the many bugs it has...
I've tried CM 10.1 but it was impossible to create an APN (so internet navigation in 3G was disabled), then I tried CM 11 (and I'm currently using it) but I can't see videos, send or receive files via bluetooth and sometimes I'm unable to view notification in hangouts (so I installed another application for SMS).
What I'm asking is: is there some Cyanogen ROM for my cellphone that works properly without important bugs? I mean, it doesn't matter if wifi tethering or direct doesn't works, I don't care even if the bluetooth don't works, they are not so important...but I'm searching for a ROM in which APN's and videos works at least...
Is there some CM release like that?
Just to be clear this post is only to ask for help and is not intended to be offensive...I really admire the developers and their hard work because I can imagine how difficult can be developing a ROM!
Thank you very much for your help and your work!

[Q] Porting "Screen Mirroring" (aka. GroupCast) to s2 i9100

Hi xda, I recently bought a Samsung Smart Tv, which have in the "sources" menu, the option "screen mirroring".
This works by going to the settings of your galaxy s3 or greater, and under display, toggling the GroupCast...
I have tried it with my father's note3, and it is really awsome playing games and see them in your full HD TV!!!
I have searched allmost everywhere in the internet for someone ported this feature somehow to tw-based Roms for our s2, i9100, but found nothing...
So, if someone have it somehow, please share the way to do it, or, developers, please port this really awsome feature to our beloved s2...
Thanks in advance,
Spyros
Oh come on.... No one know how to achive this???

This is a 3yr old phone, if you want something ported, you're doing it yourself.
I agree that the phone is really old, but there many-many developers out here that still develop for the i9100... Thats why im asking...

Bump!
I am a i9100 user too, i would like to know if there is any custom rom which uses this Screen Mirroring feature. Currently i use NeatROM SuperLite v2.6 which is not supported

Pebble OS apps ported to Android Wear?

Hello all,
So i heard somebody managed to port a few pebbleOS apps to android wear? I looked into it, and can't find anything to confirm nor deny this anywhere, so i doubt it's true.
However, i was wondering, if this does NOT exist currently, is there anybody working on a project like this, would it even be possible?!
